[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Did this happen all after you tried wiping battery stats?

Oh, and what kernel are you running?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drrayl:
love the rom!

though i did have a question about the lockscreen date fix. i think the host went down so i was wondering if someone had a mirror.

thanks!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
it happen before an after i wiped all the battery stats an im running kernel version 2.632.9 build number srf 1.1.0/twilight zone 1.1.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Try flashing a different kernel.

And just making sure wiping my battery stats won't harm me, thanks :P

Freezes

Just wanted to post my experience in case others were having the same issues as I did. I was getting freezes with Twilight Zone and Vision kernels as well as FC's for Google Framework, Messaging and Gmail. Couldn't overclock w/o phone rebooting. Didn't know what was going on. I was previously on Bonsai and don't know if that had anything to do with it.

This is what I did to get everything to run smoothly:

- Odin to DI18

- Odin to EB13 using the EB13-Extended-3 (which includes CWM3 and EXT4); making sure to check the "repartition" option.

- Odin to flash the EC05 modem. Put it in phone section.

- Flash the rom.

I wiped data in between each step. Phone is working great now. Steps may be a little overboard but it worked.

I'm using the Clean Kernel right now. Be warned Vision Kernel 1.1 may cause some freezes on occasion; I'm not sure about Genocide as I haven't tried it.

To flash these, just put the .zip on your SD card, go into CWM, flash the Kernel the same way you'd flash a ROM. No wiping required though (not even dalvik or regular cache), then reboot!

Hope this helps :)

Wasn't sure my other msg worked. EC05 font fix for the lock screen.

[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
ok thanks alot im going to try it will this fix wifi an bluetooth issue they not coming on too
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Not sure, I don't believe it would...but no harm in trying right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Oh, and quick question to anyone that knows:

When wiping battery stats, did it say it wiped the battery stats?

Because when I clicked it it didn't say at the bottom "Battery stats wiped" like it would if I were to wipe cache or something. Just making sure I did it right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
I noticed this too but it worked for me, after doing it I noticed much improvement. Battery doesn't jump from 100 to 89, etc. so I assumed it worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
My battery still sucks ):

I just tried playing a 2D game for 3 minutes and it went down 2% in the process. I've already ODINed to the EB13 modem. What else is there to do? Is it just my battery?

How's that Vision Kernel 1.3 going lol? :P I need better battery
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
HI

we'll same here still no results i might give up an get a stock rom again an wait on that gingerbread to come out from sprint an by the way do this rom has busy box cuz i dont think i have that installed on here can that be the reason im having freezing issues too or my wifi not working im trying to narrow this thing down pack
[Epic 4G Android Development] turtlenator694:
Is it possible that the use of multiple batteries can mess up the phone in some way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
No, but if you just pull your battery for no reason without enabling journaling, you will have problems.

Those above, download Spare Parts and see what the top sensor and battery users are. If it's an app, uninstall it. If it's Gallery, delete it from /system/app and install QuickPic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] turtlenator694:
Ahh I seldom actually turn off my phone as opposed to pulling the battery out -.- but those problems could be the phone getting stuck in a boot loop, or some weird System UID error?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
HI

it shows my phone died before it shut of i pulled out the batter an pop it back in it came baqck 67% but earlier it just said my phone about to die
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yeah... don't do that. You could indeed run into issues. Wipe and reflash then use the journal-enable zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beno*:
k0nane, LOVE this rom. Had it on my epic for a little over a month and have had ZERO problems. Running on demand 1300/200 with no issues on the twilight kernel. Battery life is stupendous! No FC's ever. Everything works as it should. So Awesome to have a sweet rom and kernel without having to sacrifice anything!! Donated... can't wait for your future work!

Quick question... since I've had no problems, and I'm pretty sure I'm on the rom without journaling enabled, would there be any reason or benefit to flashing the same rom with journaling enabled? Or should I just leave well enough alone and switch if I start having problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Entirely your choice, beno. If you're not in the habit of pulling your battery or doing other ridiculous things, you are free to leave it disabled. If you want it enabled, do so.

We believe in choice. ;)

I used Wifi tether a fair amount today, and it gave me some problems. It force-shut-down my phone four or five times, and after the last time the phone won't boot past the ACS logo. I'm not familiar enough with the CWM framework to do much poking around in there (or via ADB), and I'd rather not have to start from scratch (again). Is there anything I can try first?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Reflash the rom without a wipe, or restore a backup
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
So this is a case where it's ok to skip the wipe cache, dalvik, and system bits?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct, at least for now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
That did it; thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not a problem, let me know if you need anything else! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
Well, I forgot to ask why it might have been doing that, and if there's anything I can do to prevent it in the future. I don't use it that much; the last time was probably a couple months ago, and it didn't give me any problems then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
The wireless tether app is a flaky pre-beta. Try making sure the device is set to Epic in settings, and start the tether on 3G, then enable 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartanhooah:
I'd actually stopped using 4G because it kept cutting out when my phone went to sleep. I did change the device setting, but it was in the middle of being tethered, so perhaps it didn't react well to that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, do it before you start :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmbientNoise:
Someone please help! I don't know where else I would post this so here goes...

I really want this ROM, and of course everything is harder for me because I use a Mac and don't know much about adb and terminal.

Anyway, prior to attempting to flash this rom I had stock EC05, stock kernel, and clockworkmod 2.5.1.0. So I updated to clockworkmod 3.0.2.5 because I couldn't figure out how to do the update to 3.0.0.6 since I don't have windows, and I couldn't find an update zip file for 3.0.0.6 that I could just flash in recovery..So I thought, hey, 3.0.2.5 should let me flash the ROM since it's still CWM 3.x.x.x...

So I nandroided everything, wiped data and cache and dalvik, and flashed the new CWM. Well, after I flashed the zip for 3.0.2.5, sure enough, I rebooted into the newest version of CWM. Then I flashed the syndicate frozen ROM. After that had completed, I rebooted the phone...and it went back into recovery. So I pulled the battery, put it back in, and turned the phone on again. Back into recovery. Again and again, and I still cannot get out of recovery (I can still get into download mode though). I tried to nandroid restore, and got an error (I dont recall what it said). Every single time the phone is turned back on, it goes straight into recovery, whether or not i hold down any buttons...

Since then I have tried literally EVERYTHING to get past the God-forsaken recovery screen. I've scoured the internet and so many threads on this site trying to find anything that will work. I am pretty sure the phone is bricked.

I borrowed my gf's laptop, which is windows xp. Installed the driver, booted into download mode, and the comp says usb device not recognized, after multiple installs of the xp driver. I have never been able to get the phone to show up on either the mac or the pc with the Mounts and Storage>Mount USB Storage method in CWM. Obviously, since I can't get into the android system, I can't mount it the old fashioned way through the notification bar.

I successfully downgraded to CWM 2.5.1.0 via a zip file, tried nandroid restore, this time it succeeded, but the phone still will not boot past recovery.

Since I can't get the PC to recognize the phone, I can't use Odin or Heimdall or anything else on the computer. Flashing .zips do not seem to work, either.

Is there a zip I can use to format my phone to Ext4? Because, now that I think about it, I never changed the filesystem to RFS. I didn't know how to do it on a mac..

Would this even be the issue, and would it fix my problem?

Someone please help before I kill myself! :O

EDIT: I now know that the error is because I tried to flash the rom using RFS. I also just noticed that the recovery screen says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" at the bottom, and found a thread on this, but I can't use Odin, because like I said, the PC will not recognize the drivers...any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] eozdalga:
I've been having this problem for sometime as well before and still after upgrading to 1.1.0. Not sure why but wifi tether just not working for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eozdalga:
AmbientNoise, surely there must be a way to get your phone recognized on your gf's PC. Try reinstalling drivers (make sure they are the right ones). If you haven't read this post, it might be VERY helpful:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/epi...68-how-factory-restore-fix-bricked-phone.html

It has some other tips and correct links to drivers. Also, if you can, try another PC. Once you get your phone recognized, you might want to odin to stock and start fresh.

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmbientNoise:
That's definitely what Im gonna do! Its a really old POS computer, so im gonna try a different one tomorrow if i can find someone. I'm also trying to use heimdall on my mac, and I have all files in place to reflash eb13, but while my phone is in download mode my mac will not register it no matter what. Both terminal and heimdall frontend are returning "Failure to detect compatible device". Since osx doesnt need drivers, what can i possibly do to make my mac pick it up?? If i could fix it on my mac that would be the most desireable option by far...

BTW thanks for the useful page eozdalga :) i will definitely be needing that info tomorrow if i cant find a way to get my mac to pick up my phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] eozdalga:

is the phone toggle a known bug for incoming calls on srf?

sorry if this is a repost, but this thread is ginormous

i am back on srf past 24 hours

this was the first thing i experienced bad

also wasn't able to answer one call because the screen was locked up and blank...

i presume it may have been 'journaling on' related as the phone just woke from sleep...and i am using setcpu to underclock down to 100mhz

haven't seen the lockup again...just mentioning that one time event

thanks

so far so good

OK, so after putting eb13 modem on, I'm in love with this ROM. battery is much better.

The stock ROM, when entering passwords, would show the letter for a second before masking it. Is that available in this ROM?

The statusbar pulldown screen has an opacity to it. is there a way to make it more opaque?

Mine used to work on srf but doesn't anymore. It connects to my laptop fine but there is the yellow check that means limited access/no internet. I can't use the other styless of tether as my laptop won't do ad hoc set ups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Issue 1: Did not understand the problem. Care to explain a bit more?

Issue 2: The blank screen is most likely due to your underclock setting. All devices are different and vary on what they can handle as far as over/under clocking and undervolting. Try setting your minimum clock value to 200 or higher in your profile. If that doesn't fix it, then try another kernal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Using that version of CWM was your problem. I recall in other threads scattered about, that this version is just not good for our phones.

To help get you on track:

1. Get a better micro USB cable and stop using the stock one for this kind of work. (If you haven't already.)

2. Find the proper Samsung drivers for the type of computer you are using. (Goto the Samsung driver page for our model)

NOTE

: If you still have issues with drivers, you need to try a different machine.

3. Go to post 2 on this thread and snag CWM 3.0.0.6

4. Then watch the video from qbking77 (here). He steps through rooting and installing SFR.

Wifi tether now working!

So I was having all sorts of problems with wifi tether both with 1.0.2 and still after 1.1.0, I tried Genocide kernal and no changes in wifi tether (it would work once then I would have to restart the phone after as phone became slow). I also tired about 10 versions of wifi and wireless tether however no change. But today I wiped everything at least three times then reflashed 1.1.0 and works like a charm! Now I can stream data to my tablet!

By the way, after the update to 1.1.0 (with new EC05 modem of course), the GPS is amazingly better! Great ROM overall, can't wait for the new version!

I've been having a couple issues with this ROM since installing it a couple days ago.

1. Anytime I start or stop Wifi, I get an FC of Google Services Framework (process.com.google.process.gapps). It does not interfere with anything, just annoying that it pops up each time.

2. Over the past 24 hours, I've had the phone crash while charging. The charge light will stay on, but the phone will be unresponsive. Had to pull battery.

Any ideas on either?

Is anyone else having memory management issues with this rom? After the phone has been up and running for a while, it averages about 45-50 megs of free ram, which is normally fine. The problem is that Launcher Pro constantly restarts when I exit out of apps, even though I have the option enabled to keep it in memory. Other apps that should be staying alive in the background, such as Folder Organizer, also close and restart, resulting in delays in opening folders. Not sure whether this is unique to my setup, but I didn't have the problem on Stock EB13 with the same exact setup.
